A tree lopper friend of mine had promised to keep an eye out for any
unusual wood in the course of his work.
This one caught his attention as he had not seen it before although he
has been in the game for a few years.
The trunk was about 600mm thick which he kept in addition to some
short branch lengths of about 200mm thick.
Unfortunately he did not keep any leaves or other useful information.
The most unusual feature is that the heartwood is a vivid purple when
first cut but does turn brown after a few days. The piece shown in
the photo was cut 48 hours ago.
The surface is very sticky and has a very strong smell of Cypress.
Would anyone have an idea of this one please?
